Question

Please name the following three alkenes using the cis- / trans- nomenclature, thank you

 

The image contains three different chemical structures, each representing a different organic compound. Below is the detailed description for each structure.

1. **First Structure (Top):**
   - **Formula:** Cl₂C=CH₂
   - **Description:** This structure represents a simple di-substituted alkene where a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) is present. Each carbon in the double bond has one hydrogen atom (H) attached, and one of the carbons has two chlorine atoms (Cl) attached. The molecular formula can be written as C₂H₂Cl₂.

2. **Second Structure (Middle):**
   - **Formula:** C₆H₁₀O
   - **Description:** This structure is a hydroxyl-substituted alkene. It is a hexene chain with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to one of the carbons in the chain. The carbon chain also contains a double bond (typically represented as a hexene, which means there are six carbon atoms). The specific positions of the double bond and hydroxyl group are not indicated explicitly but are implied within the context of the carbon chain.

3. **Third Structure (Bottom):**
   - **Formula:** C₅H₇Br
   - **Description:** This structure represents a bromo-substituted alkene. It is a five-carbon chain with a bromine atom (Br) attached to one of the carbons. Additionally, there is a double bond present in the chain. The specific positions of the double bond and the bromine atom are not detailed but are implied within the arrangement of the five-carbon structure.

These structures show typical examples of organic molecules with functional groups including halogens (chlorine and bromine), double bonds, and hydroxyl groups. Understanding these structures is fundamental in organic chemistry, as they illustrate the diversity and complexity of carbon-based compounds.
